  • If the ELS has incorrect data, as entered into IRK (the Internet Recruitment of Candidates system), and which was transferred to USOS due to the student's error - the student returns the ELS to the Dean's Office / Secretariat for Student Affairs and pays a fee for issuing a duplicate ELS

  • All ELS ID cards are issued with a ZTM "key" that allows students to encode public transport tickets on them, including the "Varsovian Card" 
  • The ELS ticket can be encoded at any service point in the ticket encoding network on the Warsaw City Cards
  • If the ELS is damaged in a way that makes it impossible to read the ticket encoded on it, go to one of the ZTM Passenger Service Centres
  • In a situation where a student receives a new ELS card, he/she may go to one of the ZTM Passenger Service Points to re-code a valid ticket from a Warsaw City Card to the new ELS card

MLEGITIMATION (national electonic ID app)

Starting in 2019, students at the University of Warsaw have been able to use mLegitimation (mLegitymacja) - a digital version of the ELS (student ID) document, which confirms student status and entitles students to statutory concessions/discounts. The digital version has been made possible through the free mObywatel app. As of February 2020, after integrating this system with Mobile USOS and connecting its production environment with the University system, the student mLegitimation can be installed on a mobile device.
